Plan to attend the 2010 North Dakota Stockmen's Association Convention & Trade Show, which will be held Sept. 23-25, 2010 at the Holiday Inn in Minot, North Dakota.
The North Dakota Stockmen's Association works on behalf of the beef cattle industry and the convention is where staff and leaders get the direction they need to carry the issues and concerns of members to agencies, the legislature and the public. It is up to the membership to contribute its thoughts to the process.
The 2010 convention will include a Cattlemen's College, policy development sessions, educational speakers, trade show, council meetings, office and director elections, member recognition and entertainment.
A general schedule is listed below. Details will be added as the program is finalized.
